Propulsion Technologies

Many of these substances have been investigated in the context of rocket propulsion technology, since, chemically, the combustion of rocket fuels is related to the combustion of incendiary agents. Though by-products of rocket research may be theoretically of interest as potential incendiary agents, it remains to be seen whether they are feasible economically (Ref 7.n 103)...

Besides safety-belt regulations, accident rates are influenced by speed-limit standards, drivers education levels, technical vehicle checks and regulations on driving with lights by day. Propulsion technologies are not relevant in this case and thus the switch from traditional combustion engines to alternative fuel-powered motors will not influence accident rates. Sure, the question can be raised that quieter electric vehicles could increase the risk of accidents because vehicles can not be heard as quickly. But up to now there is no evidence for this assumption and thus the thesis is rejected in the subsequent elaborations.

However, the military user is a relatively small fuel consumer when compared with the civilian market. This military user is also a relatively small player in the land vehicle market, and the propulsion and fuel technologies that are available to the military customer will be strongly influenced by the prevailing civilian markets. That is, the military customer will have to buy the propulsion technology produced by manufacturers for the dominant civilian market, particularly in the case of land vehicles where complex engine management systems mean that there is little scope for producing military specials at an economic cost.

West Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to jointly develop propulsion technology for a liquid-hydrogen-powered prototype jetliner. 

In contrast to the vigorous efforts just discussed, development of liquid-hydrogen propulsion technology for jet planes is going nowhere. Lockheed s interest in hydrogen as a fuel for jet aircraft waned with the retirement of G. Daniel Brewer in 1985 and of his boss Willis Hawkins in 1993.
